A good popcorn film

Rating: 7/10 (20 September 2019)

I can see why people loved this movie but I can also why its only rated a 6.9.
So lets start with whats good: great idea, great story, great execution. Loving the acting from certain cast members, they have used actors to their strengths here. Charlie Day stands out and so does Idris Elba. Cant not commend the effort made by the art and graphics department in this movie. Scenes spanning a few minutes on the screen have very painfully and artfully been translated which needs a shout out.
And now for what went wrong: Theres too much happening.. This could have been packaged better. Maybe as a mini tv series or a two part movie or since Hollywood seems to love trilogies, they could have gone for a whole bonanza. But at 2 hours and 11 minutes long, you really feel the length of the movie in the second half. The acting and dialogue in certain scenes is just too painful to watch. Certain aspects of the story could have been handled better but now I am just nitpicking.
Overall a pure popcorn flick. Nothing wrong with that, especially when it is done so well.
